Love, betrayal, revenge. A powerful woman scorned, or a victim of her circumstances?  

In this episode of What a Classic!, we dive into one of the most iconic—and controversial—figures in Greek mythology: Medea. From her fateful meeting with Jason to the ultimate act of vengeance that would change her life forever, this myth is packed with drama and moral dilemmas.

But the real question is: Can her revenge ever truly be justified? Was Medea driven by love, or was it something deeper—something that made her a force to be reckoned with? We’ll explore the extreme choices Medea makes, the consequences of betrayal, and how her myth resonates today in a world where power and agency are still hard-won. 

Tune in for a gripping retelling, a dive into the timeless themes of justice and retribution, and the enduring legacy of one of the greatest anti-heroines in mythology.
